Solitude and Stillness
Artwork ID# 2306-41631-33

" Here you may find the elemental freedom to breathe deep of unpoisoned air, to experiment with solitude and stillness, to gaze through a hundred miles of untrammeled atmosphere across red rock canyons, beyond blue mesas, toward snow-covered peaks ...
to make the discovery of the self in proud sufficiency which is not isolation but an irreplaceable part of the mystery of the whole. "

- Edward Abbey, from the essay " Come On In ".
